More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno
Sow the living part of yourselves in the furrow of life.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science says: 'We must live,' and seeks the means of prolonging, increasing, facilitating and amplifying life, of making it tolerable and acceptable, wisdom says: 'We must die,' and seeks how to make us die well.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity.
Miguel de Unamuno
Cure yourself of the inclination to bother about how you look to other people. Be concerned only . . . with the idea God has of you.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science teaches us, in effect, to submit our reason to the truth and to know and judge of things as they are-that is to say, as they themselves choose to be and not as we would have them to be.
Miguel de Unamuno
We need God, not in order to understand the why, but in order to feel and sustain the ultimate wherefore, to give a meaning to the universe.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about.
Miguel de Unamuno
Those faults we do not have, do not bother us.
Miguel de Unamuno
Our life is a hope which is continually converting itself into memory and memory in its turn begets hope.
Miguel de Unamuno
To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.
Miguel de Unamuno
Martyrs create faith, faith does not create martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
Whenever a man talks he lies, and so far as he talks to himself - that is to say, so far as he thinks, knowing that he thinks - he lies to himself. The only truth in human life is that which is physiological. Speech - this thing that they call a social product - was made for lying.
Miguel de Unamuno
Sometimes, to remain silent is to lie, since silence can be interpreted as assent.
Miguel de Unamuno
While men believe themselves to be seeking truth for its own sake, they are in fact seeking life in truth.
Miguel de Unamuno
